1. I Love Trash- After renting an unfurnished apartment, two friends decide to support themselves using only things found in the garbage. Their furniture, food, clothes, and art may surprise you.

2. Greasy Rider- Picture a cross-country road trip powered by vegetable oil in a 1981 Mercedes-Benz. With commentary by Morgan Freeman and Noam Chomsky, Greasy Rider follows the two filmmakers, Joey Carey and JJ Beck, as they meet with fellow Greasecar drivers, friends, and critics.

3.”Trashed” – Everyday, each American throws away an average of 4.5 pounds of garbage. But where exactly is “away”? “Trashed,” a 20-minute documentary, dives headlong into the world of garbage and surfaces in some unlikely places.

4. Fuel- Explore America’s dependence on foreign oil through the eyes of eco-evangelist Josh Ticknell. Ticknell, a huge proponent of biodiesel and alternative energy sources, explains his experience in environmental protection and activism.

5. On Coal River- Coal River Valley, West Virginia is a community surrounded by lush mountains and a looming toxic threat. Filmed over a period of five years, On Coal River follows a former miner and his neighbors in a David-and-Goliath struggle for the future of their valley, their children, and life as they know it.
